    About this ebook

    This glossary was developed to be a tool for civil society actors by serving as a reference guide to the terminology used in the social economy, an aspect which is becoming more and more important in the valorization of the roles and activities done in this sector. These subjects in fact, have assumed an increasing social and economic relevance particularly in the developed countries, in which in fact there is an intense debate going on characterized by the diverse visions and perspectives that come from the heterogeneous experiences developed in the different countries. In this context, sharing the same terminology becomes an important component of effective and constructive comparison, as it lessens the risk of misunderstanding and poor linguistic clarity. Terminology clarity also provides the common base necessary for the actors of the civil sphere to strengthen their position in regards to the Market and the Public Administration.

      Glossary of Social Economy - Sara Rago

      Introduction

      The present glossary was developed to be a tool for civil society actors by serving as a reference guide to the terminology used in the social economy, an aspect which is becoming more and more important in the valorization of the roles and activities done in this sector.

      These subjects in fact, have assumed an increasing social and economic relevance particularly in the developed countries, in which in fact there is an intense debate going on characterized by the diverse visions and perspectives that come from the heterogeneous experiences developed in the different countries. In this context, sharing the same terminology becomes an important component of effective and constructive comparison, as it lessens the risk of misunderstanding and poor linguistic clarity. Terminology clarity also provides the common base necessary for the actors of the civil sphere to strengthen their position in regards to the Market and the Public Administration.

      The glossary covers the majority of the main terms used in the Social Economy. Furthermore, an in-depth comparison was done on some of the main terms defined in the glossary in order to demonstrate their common semantic origins as well as their main differences.

      The definitions for the glossary were selected from primary national and international sources, both institutional and academic in nature, and were chosen based on their coherence with the project. Every definition is likewise cited and given its bibliographic reference. Where there is no bibliographic reference, the curators of the present glossary chose from a group of sources which one to be presented.

      The intent of the glossary is to act as a useful and pragmatic instrument for civil society and its actors for dialogue creation, comparison, and development.

      Sara Rago and Ruggero Villani

      Accountability

      The English term accountability is not easy to translate in Italian as it does not render fully the English meanin: to have to explain what was done to fulfill a responsibility in the interests of someone else.

      Accountability is done primarily by presenting to the public, data—financial and not—and information that expresses what was done to fulfill a certain duty.

      Documents that demonstrate accountability share the following characteristics:

      -   Reliable data and information;

      -   Neutral, un-biased in nature;

      -   Complete and thorough information;

      -   Includes a written explanation of all information, data, and observations made that were necessary to account for all stakeholders involved.

      The social balance sheet is an instrument by with organizations account for the social dimension of their actions.

      It is an instrument, voluntarily adopted by the company, which highlights the social impact the company’s activities have on its interests groups and the social groups with which it interacts. It aims at summarizing the external impact of its activities and to delineate a framework of the interdependence between the economic and socio-political factors that result from the company’s economic activities.

      It is a document that accompanies those already existing and required by law, able to furnish the diverse stakeholders (employees, clients and suppliers, shareholders, institutions, etc.) with information on the social effects derived from the company’s business choices.

      In general, despite the lack of a unified model, the social balance sheet includes: the definition of the company’s identity, its values, the mission and strategic objectives of the company, in addition to a description of its institutional asset and organizational structure. The social balance sheet is an accounting exercise that reclassifies the traditional economic monetary voices putting them into relation with social and environmental performance, and hence through the construction of meaningful indicators, financial data is used to express the company’s social value.

      Active Citizenship

      The idea of active citizenship finds its origins in the principle of subsidiarity (Article 118 of the Constitution of the Italian Republic), according to which the Republic favors citizens—individuals and groups—who take the self-initiative to carry out activities of public benefit, on the basis of the principle of subsidiarity. Active citizenship is an integrated part of the shared administration model in which politicians, administration, and citizens converge in pursuit of the general interest. This societal model is characterized by the diffuse presence of active citizens, who are autonomous, mutually supportive and responsible, and free to act for the achievement of the common good, in accordance to the principles of equality and legality.

      The development of an active citizenship, in the end, is distinguished by the particular, social and economic, added value it can generate political systems, measured in terms of: the generalized reciprocity created, an increase in social cohesion, the creation of meeting points and confrontation, pluralism in opinion, and concrete experiences of democracy and participation.
